Install stabilizer onto axle bracket using

the original hardware, loosely at this

time. (FIG 6 for 87-95 & FIG 7 for 97-06)

Note: Be sure to install so the cylinder

body is mounted to the axle side as

shown. If mounted opposite way

damage can occur to new stabilizer.

Slide shaft end of stabilizer over stud

and secure with the 7/16” flat washer,

lock washer and nut using a 11/16”

socket. (see FIG 8) Tighten until lock

washer is compressed, bushings start to

collapse and expand in diameter so

there is pressure on it. Finally Torque

axle end hardware to 55ft lbs.

After installation be sure to cycle steer-

ing and check for adequate clearance.

In most cases it will be necessary to ro-

tate the stabilizer bracket on the tie rod

down slightly to allow for clearance.

Cycle steering again fully left to right

and check for proper clearance. After

the first 100 miles check all of the hard-

ware for proper torque and periodically

thereafter.
